Rolly Romero Calls for Ryan Garcia vs. Devin Haney Rematch Fight Despite Upset Win

Despite potentially throwing a wrench into their plans, Rolando "Rolly" Romero still believes Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney should have their rematch.

After upsetting Garcia by unanimous decision to win the vacant WBA (Regular) welterweight title on Friday night, Romero told reporters he feels Garcia vs. Haney II should still happen, saying: "I ain't even thinking about what's next. I think Devin and Ryan should get their rematch and make a big one."

In April 2024, Garcia and Haney clashed in a fight that was supposed to be for Haney's WBC super lightweight title, but Garcia failed to make weight, so the championship wasn't on the line.

Garcia went on to beat Haney by majority decision, seemingly handing the previously undefeated Haney the first loss of his professional career.

However, it was revealed after the fight that Garcia failed a drug test due to testing positive for Ostarine, so the result was changed to a no contest.

After serving a one-year suspension, Garcia returned to the ring against Romero on the same card as Haney's clash with José Ramírez.

While Haney beat Ramírez by unanimous decision, Garcia fell to Romero, which calls into question whether a rematch is still in the cards.

Per ESPN's Andreas Hale, it remains possible that Garcia vs. Haney II could happen due to reports that a contract was signed for the fight prior to Friday's results.
